Basically, there are two
kinds of intelligence that influences academic, career, marital and social
success. The more you develop these intelligence, the higher your success rate
in doing very well in life.
School is a preparatory
ground for real life in the real world. The essence of school is to groom,
prepare and develop students to become responsible people in the future and
make great exploits in life.
In order to build a strong
and thriving future life, there are two kinds of intelligence every student
must focus on developing to become successful in his or her academic, career,
relationship and social life: Academic Intelligence & Emotional
Intelligence.
Academic Intelligence,
IQ can be developed. It is simply an ability built into us by God. As human
beings we have the ability to learn, think, reason, memorize and remember. No
other living thing can do this. Why? They don’t have this ability.
Every student has an
academic intelligence. Your job as a student is to develop that intelligence. Academically
intelligent students are simply students who have developed their academic
intelligence. Thus, they do very well in their academic life.
Academic Intelligence
Well, what’s academic
intelligence? It’s simply your ability to read, understand, study, learn, analyze
and memorize information. Academic intelligence deals with your ability to acquire,
understand and keep records of information. And every student has that ability!
You just have to develop it!
The essence of the
Living Purpose School is to enhance the academic performance of students which
means we have to help students to develop their academic intelligence. This is often
done through the Academic Success Coaching Program.
The following are 10
ways to develop your academic intelligence.
1. Be
punctual and regular in going to classes.
2. Take
notes in class while the teacher is teaching.
3. Preview
the lesson before going to class.
4. Ask
questions in class to gain more understanding.
5. Read
and study your notes after the lessons.
6. Make
notes from notes given in class in your personal studies.
7. Commit
to a consistent, undistracted and effective personal study.
8. Join
study groups and learn with other peers in the group.
9. Pay
attention in class while the teaching is teaching.
10. Prepare
effectively for next lesson, quizzes, exams, tests and exams.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence,
on the way round is the kind of intelligence that supports your academic
intelligence. Your academic success can be built as you focus on developing yourself. Research
has shown that 90% of success in life is Emotional EQ and 10% is academic
intelligence, IQ.
Academic intelligence
focuses on developing your rational brain.
Emotional intelligence focuses on developing your emotional brain. Psychologists have discovered that we often feel and act before we think. That
places emotional intelligence on top of academic intelligence because your
feelings determine your actions and your actions determines your results.
SO what’s emotional
intelligence? Emotional Intelligence, EQ is your ability to perceive, evaluate,
control and express emotions. It has to do with your ability to understanding
feelings and handle it appropriately.
Feelings such as anger,
greed, jealousy, envy, fear, faith, happiness, joy, bitterness, high self sense
of worth, empathy, courage, boldness and the like are fundamental to success in
every sphere of life. The more you understand and handle these emotions well,
the higher you’ll go in life.
The following are 10
ways to develop your emotional intelligence.
1. Spend
time in solitude daily and examine your life.
2. Give
adequate time to mediation and reading something from the Bible always.
3. Join
religious groups and youth clubs on campus.
4. Be
active in groups and focus on being a leader.
5. Read

6. Learn
to listen to the feelings behind the words people speak.
7. Seek
to understand why people do what they do, not to be understood.
8. Engage
yourself in discussions and relating with people.
9. Master
courage and ask questions confidently in class and groups.
10. Learn

As you do these things
repeatedly, little by little, slowly you’ll be developing your academic and
emotional intelligence. The more you develop your intelligence, the more you’ll
improve in your academic, career, relationship and social life.
Seek to be a student of
information and emotions and as long as you study these things, your academic
and emotional intelligence will grow. This growth will affect every area in
your life and you’ll achieve astounding success in life.
